Summary
Slalom is a purpose-led, global business and technology consulting company.

🚨 Project details or the client’s name cannot be disclosed publicly! 🚨
What did I do?
UX Research 🔎
Created a research plan and engaged in 5+ user feedback sessions with users and stakeholders.
- Found opportunities to improve the existing designs
- Found opportunities to generate new designs and solutions
- Determined the user’s potential mental models
UX Design 👩🏻💻🖌️
Designed an approach, structure, and template for a design audit; designed solutions for existing features based on user feedback; and designed flows, information structure, high-fidelity wireframes, and prototypes for a new feature.
- Constantly engaged with developers, product and solution owners, and other designers.
- Validated all the work with research and got it approved by the client on a weekly basis
Key takeaways
🌊 Designing effectively is riding the waves of change
I learned to adapt and be flexible in the face of unforeseen challenges and changes. This skill allowed me to adjust solutions and design approaches to evolving project requirements and scalability considerations.
🎯 Remember the end goal and how your work will make an impact
Complex projects can be overwhelming and demanding at times. However, this experience taught me the importance of resilience and perseverance. By focusing on the end goal and the impact my work would generate, I overcame obstacles and successfully delivered outcomes.
